I was wondering how long it would be before someone would defend the practice by the old "In other cultures..." BS. next you'll condone beheadings, and eating monkey brains from live monkeys. My point was that the french aren't as progressive and passionate as they would have you believe, but are similar to the islamoterrorists in their disregard of dogs n such.

You really like that word, don't ya? Tell ya what, get yourself a white bedsheet and make it official. I'm sure you can find some crosses to burn at the local Catholic church.

First non-sensical terrorist comparison! That didn't take long!

Beheadings happen on humans. That's a nono.

Eating live monkey brains? I hate to say it but thats cultural, as longs as they aren't eating endangered monkeys or something. Sounds revolting to me, but if they want to do it, power to them. Whether the monkey is alive when eat and then killed or killed and then eaten doesn't really make much difference, does it.

heh. i think that if a live monkey is having it's brain eaten, it's "endangered". or are you referring to extinction of a species? ;-)

be well.

I didn't hear any mention of terrorists. You do know that there were beheadings long before it was sensationalized as a terrorist tactic, and will probably continue for a long time to come, correct?

Are you talking about Reunion Island's French, African, Malagasy, Chinese, Pakistani or Indian population?

Or, to put it another way, does everything that happens in a US protectorate reflect upon Americans as a whole?

Hey give him some credit, he was dumb right from the first post in his thread...

So much for French "Culture"
Why haven't the proud 'moral' french put a stop to this?
i guess they are more backwards and brutal than originally thought.
reminds me of the islamoterrorists using stray dogs as weapons.
The terrorists and the french.............hmmmmmmm.............

Actually, they're the same!

Did you notice how you cannot understand both French and Islam?

Well, that is because there is nooooooo difference!

I am glad to make your education.

You still don't understand how demeaning and disgusting it is for you to use "N*****" just for your own political satire, do you? C'mon, I'm hispanic, use a slur against me, might as well make it a full set, big man.

I can only hope that the outrage over the ill treatment of "bait puppies" created by stories like these will help put an end to all cruel and unnecessary shark fishing practices.

I simply don't get it either. When will those who throw around racial epithets realize how stupid it makes them look.

Hispanics seem to be open game around here. I know Athens has no love for them and when he posted a thread demeaning them no one called him out for it.

IIRC, you are the same basic mix as me. Irish/Hispanic right?

I'm sure he didn't make the term "sandnigger" up himself. And frankly, hearing some of the turds in this forum speaking of "towelheads" and MEANING it is far more offensive IMNSHO than cynicism that is obviously aimed well enough to have found a willing and appropriate target in you.

Who has used that term when referring to Arabs? Who? Point them out, I'll give them "whats for" also.

And I don't give a damn if he made up the term or not, it doesn't make it right to use it in that context (or agruably any other). It's sad, demeaning, and shows his poor character. Good day.

Welp, I thought it was spot-on, and reactions to his post seem to verify that, so we'll have to disagree.

And I condone the use of certain terms when the object is to cynically expose people who use them in earnest. A lot of good satire is in bad taste; if it makes you uncomfortable, it's probably supposed to.

Good day to you.

The discussion of racism in this thread is just as idiotic.

It's like being called racist for making the sarcastic remark that "Well, yeah, but they're just blacks" in a discussion on Bush mishandling the New Orleans disaster.

So, should people who make racist remarks be banned? Or do you find it acceptable? I understand the rare joke, that's not what I am talking about.

Actually it was at a all time high before the war on Irak, against the French, German and others 'treators'. The curiousa thing is you did not seem to notice it as much.

it doesn't make me uncomfortable (as you can tell by me checking on this thread about 1 time /day), it just makes him look like a bigot who uses the term often... secretly enjoying it, claiming he uses it out of context for "shock value". He's just another leftist pig hiding behind his human rights highground, more semi-human debris. No surprise. *shrug*

According to Macinstein calling a Mexican a Mexican is racist.

He told me so.

It's your opinion that its effing dumb. SUPPORT IT.
..duh?

Just saying something is effing dumb and walking away only makes you look dumb. Seeing as how you must be sooo sagacious, I'm sure you can come up with something better than that.


As for the whole racism thing, I do not think it is appropriate anywhere. It is not right to call them "sand******s" and it is not right to call black people the "N" word either. That said, I also don't think its right for people to go and act like they are discriminated and entitled to something, while they discriminate others at the same time. White people should not be referred to as "crackers."

No, I don't think it makes him look like that at all.

btw, the term has been used three times on this board: once by Powerbook, once by KellyHogan, and once by an Abu Bakr.

I'm intolerant towards racists in that I don't particularly mind that their drivel be removed.

This board has a (unfortunately somewhat haphazard) policy of removing assholes from traffic (and since racists are generally assholes...), which I do not object to.

Are you suggesting that Powerbook is a racist? And that I should approve his banning?

I thought you're in favor of the "odd joke"?

I have? That's odd, considering I hardly post in the pol lounge, and not much anymore elsewhere on this board. Care to elaborate? I'm genuinely interested.

It was, however, a succinctly put version of all the response really needed to his post.

..duh?

Just saying something is effing dumb and walking away only makes you look dumb. Seeing as how you must be sooo sagacious, I'm sure you can come up with something better than that.

Here is the answer for you , brought to you by lurkalot. Now do you feel ****ing dumb too, 'cause really, you could

All right let metry to help you here. So they found that black man dragged to death by a pickup truck . I heard the poor man was used as a bait for coyotes. Where is the outrage?

Got it?

Nope, not one bit. I suppose I could, but its still you who should. Your link only veryfies the story that the OP cited. Granted, it does indeed debunk the link he drew between this practice and French culture. Does rule 8 only apply to those who start threads? I fugure it would apply to them and anyone who posts in a thread. (i guess a mod will have to straighten that out.) It has nothing whatsoever to do with what you said earlier.

My point was that you just quoted the OP's entire post, didnt even zero in on anything, and just called him names. Childish really. You could at least specify what part of the post you object to. And give reasons. Which you've yet to explicitly do; I'm decucing your points and meaning.

That is disgusting, those who did it should have the maximum possible punishment bruoght down upon them. Seriously, you expect the OP to know every news story, EVERY thing thats is appaling, and post up some outrage here in the PL? He saw this story, not yours, and was disgusted by it. So he posted about it, and provided his opinion. Indeed his logic may not be perfect, but you're not convincing anyone just by calling him an effing idiot, and not even explaining why.

Where's your outrage? You're the one with the story. So go start a thread about it, and I'm sure you'll see that we are humane to people as well as to dogs.
